Norse Mythology: Tales of Norse Myth, Gods, Goddesses, Giants, Rituals & Viking Beliefs.

by Kory Aumont

Before the tide of Christianity cast its influence over the greater part of the Western World, magic and tradition were rich in the lives of the Nordic people. These great men and women of lore speak to us of glorified battles, strong noble bloodlines, and honor in the face of adversity. We celebrate the incredible tales of Loki and Frigga, the mighty Thor and the all-powerful Odin. Now the annals of history have offered us the great gift of studying and understanding this magnificent culture. Readers young and old alike have the opportunity to explore this fascinating and awe-inspiring collection of religious stories and rich traditions belonging to such a complex belief system. Discover for yourself the magic and mystery in the stories of Baldur, Heimdall, and Idun. Uncover the ancient tale of the fortification of Asgard, the great kingdom of the Nordic gods, and the chilling story behind the binding of Fenrir. Even though thousands of years have passed since these cultural stories were first shared around the forges and fires of the Nordic populations, they still entrance and inspire us with the great deeds of the human race and the incredible gods who watched over them. Find your own wealth of inspiration among the tales of the great gods and goddesses once worshipped by the Vikings.

Feels more like an overview rather than anything more solid.

excellent as a primer or introduction to norse culture.

[Michal Vaughn · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very short yet engaging and interesting collection of Norse folklore. This book is a breeze to read and it provides the main stories in an interesting way without throwing in too many dull details. This is a very good book for anyone who's looking for the main gist of Norse mythology.

This is a very short book, so it may seem like it is not worth it, but I think it accomplished what it set out to do, ie tell tales of Norse mythology. Honestly, I think it gave way more information than some other similar books for other cultures I have read and it makes me want to read more on the subject.

Great book

It's nice to have so many of the norse mythos in one place. Definitely read this one. Now I want to buy the paperback.

There is a part where Loki plays tug of war with a goat except he tied the rope around his nut sack.
